Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information display systems fail to effectively prioritize and transmit important information to users when processing settings are displayed on an operation screen, leading to potential misinterpretation due to incomplete or changing content.

Innovation Solution

An information display device and computer program that dynamically determine and display priority information based on user interactions, such as screen transitions and specified values, to highlight crucial processing settings not currently visible on the interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If information related to setting of processing is displayed at the operation screen, then the user can access the information, but the information may not be effectively transmitted to the user due to incorrect interpretation of the content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission effectivenessVSAvoiduser interpretation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays priority information in a prominent region and provides feedback by showing whether the user has acknowledged or understood the critical information, allowing the system to adjust subsequent information presentation based on user response

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The operation screen is divided into regions with different display priorities, where critical information is placed in a prominent region that attracts user attention, while less important information is placed in other regions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If all setting information is displayed at the operation screen, then complete information is provided, but the screen becomes cluttered and critical information may be lost among other content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidscreen information density
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Critical information is extracted from the general set of setting information and displayed separately in a prominent region, removing it from the cluttered background of other settings while maintaining overall information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The operation screen is segmented into multiple display regions with different priorities, allowing critical information to be separated and displayed in a prominent region while other information is organized in separate areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If priority information is dynamically determined and displayed, then critical information is effectively communicated, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecritical information communicationVSAvoiddynamic determination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes display parameters dynamically by adjusting which information is shown in the prominent region based on the current operation context, user preferences, and processing requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An information display device 10 provided with a CPU 11. The CPU 11 executes processing including determining priority information to prioritize for display from among content not being displayed at an operation screen that is displayed at a user interface and that includes a region to receive execution of processing from a user, and displaying the determined priority information at the region on the operation screen.
